[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by yankeejwb I had a lady that lived across the street from me growing up that made it her mission to see how often she could get the cops called on me because I had a band that practiced in our attic. were we loud? YUP! Was it causing a disturbance in the neighborhood? Yeah, in all honesty it was. But did she get anywhere by being hostile and tattling on me to the cops? Nope. Actually, it made me worse! If she had been friendly about it and used a little diplomacy, I know things would have been different. [B)][:D] [/quote] This is completely off this "off-topic" topic, but your post reminded me of someone I met who did handle the loud musician problem diplomatically. Someone moved into a house near his, separated only by a small expanse of woods. After a number of late, sleepless nights, he dragged himself through the woods and pounded on the door until someone heard him above the music. He politely asked if the person was aware how the loud music was, how well it travelled through the woods was and how late at night it was. Realizing his behavior was disturbing the neighbors, the newcomer apologized, promised there would be no more problems and parted friends with his new neighbor. He was true to his word and either soundproofed the place or practiced elsewhere after that. The time: Mid-1960's, the town: Woodstock, NY. The noisemaker: Bob Dylan. Wayne
